speakers.

Vibrations or jolts associated with earthquakes and other phenomena or

activities may cause the speaker to fall over. For safety reasons, using

commercially available products that increase stability of the speaker is

recommended (metal fittings or chains, etc.).

Use the stands included with the speaker to increase stability:

Be sure to use the stands regardless of where the speaker is

positioned. Attaching the stands included with the speaker

reinforces the base of the speaker so as not to fall over.

Please be cautioned that even though the stands are connected, this

does not guarantee that the speaker will not fall over.
